D+10

Since 1982, the Gay Games have brought together people from all walks of life, without discrimination, around the values of diversity, respect, equality, solidarity, and sharing.

With sport being a medium for togetherness and inclusion, the Gay Games are OPEN TO ALL and offer everyone the opportunity to participate in their own way.

As athletes, artists, supporters, spectators, donors, volunteers, conference participants, sponsors, or simply anyone interested in this project, everyone has a role to play at the Gay Games and help make things happen.

Rendez-vous in Paris in 2018, where we will share together some moments rich in emotion.

‘By organizing Paris 2018-Gay Games 10, Paris has committed to equality. In effect, this great sport and cultural event permits athletes and artists of all levels of experience and from all over the world to affirm together the right of everyone to be different.

With the Paris International Tournament (TIP), organized each year by the member clubs of FSGL (the French Gay and Lesbian Sport Federation), this springtime event, comprised of debates and sessions to sensitize the public to the issues of discrimination, Paris 2018-Gay Games 10 offers our city the opportunity to take yet another step towards a society that is fairer, friendlier, and more fraternal.

Thanks to the Gay Games, Paris intends to continue its efforts to promote tolerance, respect, and liberty, even if at times, against the odds.

I invite everyone to come to Paris to participate in Paris 2018-Gay Games 10 and share in some beautiful moments of sport and culture. »

DILCRAH Inter-Ministerial Delegation Against Racism, Antisemitism and Hate against LGBT

Under the authority of Prime Minister, the Inter-Ministerial Delegation Against Racism, Antisemitism and Hate against LGBT has since November 2014 the mission to combat racism, antisemitism and hate against LGBT http://www.gouvernement.fr/dilcrah

The GAY GAMES are based on the three guiding principles of Participation, Inclusion and Personal Best™.
A philosophy that goes beyond mere competition and promotes human values ​​above all.

Diversity

Diversity

“Our differences must, by no means, be a disadvantage, but they must be an enrichment.” Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
The Gay Games celebrate all people, whatever their sexual orientation, gender identity, age, social or geographical origin, gender, sports or cultural level, disability, etc. Paris 2018-Gay Games 10 is the one and only sports and cultural event in the world that is open to everybody (over 18 years of age).

Respect

Respect

“Tolerance should really be only a temporary attitude; it must lead to recognition.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

At the Gay Games, there are rules to be respected to provide guidance on how to live and compete with one another. And there is also a commitment to respect every person. Our mission is to help everyone respect themselves and others, whatever their differences may be. That is our contribution to social cohesion.

Equality

Equality

“The topmost equality is equity.” Victor Hugo
At the Gay Games, the three values of the national French motto “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” are essential. With its slogan “All Equal”, Paris 2018–Gay Games 10 continues to stress the importance of this fundamental human right for all. Unfortunately, over 70 countries still criminalize homosexuality, a dozen with the death penalty. Therefore, the Gay Games are open to all, without any kind of selection or requirements (other than being 18 or more years old).

Solidarity

Solidarity

“One for all, all for one!” Alexandre Dumas
At the heart of the spirit of the Gay Games are mutual assistance and solidarity, and is why Paris 2018 and the Gay Games Federation raise funds to be awarded to those who may not have the necessary means. Also, because it is essential to participate and perform one’s Personal Best, the competition will always stay friendly and welcoming.

Sharing

Sharing

“Happiness is the only thing that doubles when shared.” Albert Schweitzer
The Gay Games are first and foremost a moment of joy, celebration and friendship. This international gathering gives the opportunity to share a common experience that can change the perception of the world. Paris 2018–Gay Games 10 is the opportunity for France to welcome the whole world to share their values, culture and l’art de vivre.

« From the start of this project, I chose to make a commitment beside the team of Paris 2018 - as a professional athlete, as a sports enthusiast but also as a woman and as a citizen. This is why I invite you right now to join us: the Gay Games are a big party in which each can participate. »
